As depicted in ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus couldn't bear the sight of humanity struggling in the darkness, crafted a long reed, and took the risk of approaching the sun to steal fire. He fearlessly brought this light to the world, defying what Zeus had ordered the gods not to do. His brave act ushered in the dawn of civilization for mankind. In this issue of "Light People", Professor Rui Wang is invited to share stories about his adventures in improving perovskite solar cells for the full utilization of sunlight in daily lives, much like Prometheus bringing the gift of light to humanity. Perovskite solar cells hold great potential for both civilian applications and commercial purposes, such as rooftop solar panels, solar chargers, and solar-powered vehicles.
正如古希腊神话中所描绘的那样,普罗米修斯不忍看到人类在黑暗中挣扎,便制作了一根长长的芦苇,冒着风险靠近太阳去偷火。他无畏地将这火种带到人间,违抗了宙斯命令众神不许这么做的禁令。他的勇敢行为为人类迎来了文明的曙光。在本期《光人》中,王锐教授受邀分享他在改进钙钛矿太阳能电池以实现日常生活中阳光的充分利用方面的探索故事,就如同普罗米修斯为人类带来光明的礼物一样。钙钛矿太阳能电池在民用和商业应用方面都具有巨大潜力,比如屋顶太阳能板、太阳能充电器以及太阳能动力汽车等。
